High West Rendezvous Rye
$97.99
High West bottles some tremendous American Whiskey, and may be the best blender in the USA. The Rendezvous Rye from High West is a blend of four to seven-year-old rye with a high rye content in the mash bill. The two components are a 95% Rye from MGP of Indiana and an 80% Rye, 20% Malted Rye from High West Distillery itself. The result is a complex but very drinkable Rye. Bottled at 46% ABV.
About High West Distillery
"High West is Utah’s first legal distillery since 1870 and the world’s only ski-in gastro-distillery. If you find yourself in Old Town Park City, please stop (or ski) by to visit us. We’d love to share our passions with you: the American West, our contemporary western victuals, American roots music, and of course, pairing all the above with our greatest passion – superb whiskey. Better yet, you ought to come out to our distillery in the mountains of Wanship, Utah. It’s a celebration of cowboys and the American West."
Michter's American Whiskey
$83.99
"Unlike bourbon or rye, which, by definition, must be aged in new oak barrels, our US 1 Unblended American Whiskey is aged in a way that utilizes bourbon-soaked barrels to achieve a rich and unique flavour profile," according to the team at Michter's. It has notes of "deep butterscotch and vanilla notes, hints of caramel and dried fruit with a ripened fruit finish."
While the Michter’s name has a long and storied history, the Michter’s Distillery of Louisville, KY has only been in operation since 2015. Any whiskey bottled that is older than that was sourced from other distilleries, typically within Kentucky. Luckily, the quality of anything bottled with the Michter’s label on it is typically high, regardless of their original provenance.
Other than their single barrel products, Michter’s typically bottles their whiskey from selected small batches of 20 barrels or less.

"First in the series, this one-time release whisky has all the hallmark notes of CC Classic 12 YO elevated to 15 years with the secondary aging in Oloroso sherry casks.

Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye 5th Rl
$86.99
Batch 5 of the venerable Alberta Premium Cask Strength is here! We haven't tasted it yet, but if the quality is as good as the past four releases, then you are going to want to pick one up. The 5th release is bottled at a healthy 64.2%. We have no idea how few or how many bottles of this were produced, so grab it while you can!
Rumour has it this may be the last batch of the Alberta Premium Cask Strength released in this style. Whether that means the Beam Suntory/Alberta Distillers plans on moving away from the iconic Alberta Premium Bottle for packaging, perhaps makes future editions less of a limited release, or does something else entirely remains to be seen.
Kyro Malt Rye
$79.99
This Rye Whisky from Finland is made from 100% malted rye. It is bottled at 47.2%.
People from Finland seem to know how to live the good life. We should all have a sauna in our backyard to dive into when it is fridged and snowing in the middle of winter. We should also have some good Rye Whisky to take in with us - and that is where Kyro Rye comes in. Kyro Distillery resides in Isokyrö, Finland. The distillery was founded by a group of friends that were pondering the meaning of life and bemoaning the lack of Finnish Rye Whisky one day in - you guessed it - a sauna. They decided to do something about it, and Kyro was born.

50% ABV.
Producer Description

Macaloney`s Kildara
$101.99
This island whisky is from our triple distilled single potstill range – triple distilled using only the best unmalted and malted barley available. The patient, yet purposeful, triple distillation produces a complex, layered and balanced new-make spirit. Dr. Swan described our original new-make which trickles off our copper pot stills as “the best that I have tasted in any distillery at this stage, super fruity.” This triple-distillate is even smoother and fruitier!
Kildara, our Whiskymaker’s Signature Expression, was married from a select combination of Kentucky Bourbon, Spanish Oloroso, virgin American, and Spanish Pedro Ximénez (PX) casks. The result is a full bodied, triple distilled single potstill, island whisky with pronounced Oloroso and PX notes including dried fruit cake, vanilla crème laced with cinnamon, demerara sugar, and old seasoned leather notes. Abundant tropical fruits include candied orange, dried apricot, figs, ripe blackberries, blackcurrant jam, dried raisins and roasted nuts. The complexity continues with barley, malt and dried hay, butterscotch, milk chocolate, light tobacco and ocean breeze.
The palate is velvety-soft, resplendent with full bodied Sherry and tropical fruit. Oatmeal develops to oak spices, coffee, dark chocolate orange, nectarines, stewed plums, blackcurrant, red currant and sultanas, coming together as sweet dark fruitcake and honey. The finish presents dried fruit with a hint of salt and dulse, lingering oak and more Sherry, ending with hazelnut and almond raspberry pie with a drizzle of dark chocolate.
ABV: 46%

Producer Description
"Taber Corn is second to none. Each summer, when word of Taber, Alberta’s first corn harvest breaks, connoisseurs converge on roadside stands to get it. It’s an easy progression why we would use Alberta’s famous Taber Corn from the Molnar Farm in our corn mash allowing you to not only eat your Taber Corn, but drink it too. At 101 proof (50.5% abv), this higher proof whisky gives a depth of flavour and aroma second to none, just like the corn it is made from!"
